Lovely fragrance. As for sample I asked for Hermes but was given something else I don’t like, it’s a waste. Should improve in communication with customer if requested samples are not available.

First and foremost i love how efficient this shop is, immediate packing and delivering. In term of scent, the perfume is authentic, subtle hint of citrus blended with white flower. Base is complimented with vetiver and cedar. It is a unique scent to be own.
